Can Virgil van Dijk beat Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi to become the first defender to win the Ballon

For footballers, there is no doubt that the Ballon d'Or is the most important award, so only the best stars in the world will have the opportunity to compete for this award. But before 2018, the Ballon d'Or was monopolized by Messi and Ronaldo, and they were evenly divided with five Ballon d'Or awards each. If it weren't for the 2018 Croatian star Modric's unexpected attempt to snatch the Ballon d'Or, then I'm afraid this award would also belong to Ronaldo.

And now it seems that the era of Messi and Ronaldo is about to pass, and now there is another favorite to win the Ballon d'Or, that is, Van Dijk. Many people have the question, can Van Dijk really beat Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi and become the first defender to win the Ballon d'Or in 13 years? In fact, it seems to me that there is really such a possibility.

13 years ago, in 2006, Cannavaro won the Ballon d'Or in '06 for leading the Italian national team to win the world championship and captain of the Italian national team as a defender, and 13 years later in 2019Van Dijk once again won the Ballon d'Or as a defender, and it should be relatively stable.

At the UEFA Awards Ceremony held two days ago, Van Dijk was not only named UEFA's best defender, but also beat Sero and Messi to become UEFA's best player. At the same timeLast season, he also relied on his unbeaten record in the Premier League, and also led Liverpool to the end of the Premier League, winning the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup.

MoreoverNow he has been voted UEFA Player of the Year and is also a big lead over Cerro and Messi in terms of ratings。And for Sero and Messi, neither of them led Barcelona and Juventus to the Champions League final, and they only won the La Liga and Serie A titles. So this time Van Dijk could really be the first defender to win the Ballon d'Or after 13 years.

Personally, I think Virgil van Dijk can beat Cristiano Ronaldo Messi and become the first defender to win the Ballon d'Or in 13 years. Of course, such a result is not just talking, Van Dijk is now very strong in physical fitness, and he also has deep attainments in such a field, which is not inferior to Ronaldo and Messi. The Ballon d'Or is undoubtedly the most important award for footballers, so only the best stars in the world have the opportunity to compete for it.

Judging from Van Dijk's current performances in the game, he can compete with Cristiano Ronaldo Messi for this award, and the probability of winning the Ballon d'Or defender award is also very high.

It's not just talk, it depends on the results of Van Dijk in every game he has played so far, but he has been very good in every game he has played. 13 years ago, in 20006, Cannavaro, who led the Italian national team to win the World Cup, as the captain of the Italian national team, won the 2006 Ballon d'Or as a defender, and 13 years later, in 2019, Van Dijk won the Ballon d'Or again as a defender. So this is also very likely to happen.

We are also bullish on Virgil van Dijk.

According to the results of the recent UEFA awards, Van Dijk was not only voted UEFA's best defender, but also beat Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to become UEFA's best player. Such an outstanding performance is certainly comparable to, and perhaps even better than, their old strong athletes. In this situation, I believe that more and more people will be more optimistic about the current Van Dijk, and they will also believe that he will win the first defender to win the Ballon d'Or in 13 years.

According to the current point of view, Ronaldo is 34 years old this year, Messi is 32 years old this year, but they are still at the peak of their careers, among the players with the highest demand for the Ballon d'Or in 2019, Ronaldo Messi is impressively listed, and Melo's biggest rival is the Dutch central defender Van Dijk who plays for Liverpool. It will not be easy for Van Dijk to beat Ballon d'Or contender Lionel Messi

Among them, Summer, Cannavaro and Beckenbauer's first awards have the bonus of continental and even world competitionsTwo Germans won the European Championship, Cannavaro is holding the Hercules Cup. In a non-major year, Van Dijk would be the first-man ever. Of course, Van Dijk's convincing convincing is supported, and the list is enough:

In the Liverpool squad last season he was the player who touched, passed, won duels, cleared, intercepted and blocked shots, and Van Dijk was second only to Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte and Chelsea's Jorginho in the Premier League in terms of passes.

Now,Virgil van Dijk has been voted UEFA's best playerAnd, in terms of ratings, it was Ronaldo and Messi who were ahead by a big score. On the other hand, Messi and Ronaldo did not lead Barcelona and Juventus to the Champions League final, and they only won the La Liga and Serie A titles. Moreover, in terms of the national team, Messi led the Argentine national team to the third place in the Copa America, and Ronaldo led the Portuguese national team to the UEFA Nations League championship.

There is a factor that cannot be ignored that, as a defender, it is often difficult to beat the midfielder in the race for the Ballon d'Or. The last defender to win the Ballon d'Or was Italian Fabio Cannavaro, who won the Ballon d'Or in 2006 with a bit of an upset. Virgil van Dijk has previously expressed the saying "it's time for defenders to win the Ballon d'Or".So can he become the first defender to win the Ballon d'Or in 13 years?

Let's stay tuned.

It must be Van Dijk, because UEFA doesn't want Mero to be superior, if it was Ronaldo last year, it must be Messi this year!

It's not very likely, not as good as Mero.

I don't agree, Fan is not as big as Messi Ronaldo.

Van Dijk has to win the Ballon d'Or or it's a crime.

Yes, because UEFA wants to give defenders hope, UEFA deliberately wants to train a defender to win the Golden Ball, which is called setting an example for defenders.

It's quite possible, and Van Dijk has been in the limelight lately.

No way, Van Dijk would be shady if he won the award.

The Golden Globes are actually a joke.

can't be compared, it's still Ronaldo's.

The gap with Mero is too big to be compared at all.

It feels a bit hanging, and the two of them are fantastic.

Van Dijk is very good, but I feel like he will have to wait another two years for him to win the Golden Ball.

It feels unlikely, and it should be worth waiting and seeing.

It's really hard to do, after all, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

I think there are still possibilities, but it's not too big, it still depends on the follow-up.

At 2:45 a.m. on the 10th of June Beijing time, the final of the European National Prestige League was played at the Dragon Stadium, and finally Portugal defeated the Netherlands 1-0 to win the first European Nations League championship, and they also regained the European championship after 3 years!

It is worth mentioning that the duel between Ronaldo and Van Dijk that fans were looking forward to in this game did not happen, and Ronaldo did not try Van Dijk. As a result, according to Squawka, Van Dijk has only been beaten by German player Leroy Sane in 56 games this season.

On 19 November 2018, Van Dijk was discarded by Leroy Sane in the match between Germany and the Netherlands, and no one has managed to break him in 55 other gamesLiverpool played Barcelona twice, the Netherlands played Portugal, and Messi and Ronaldo failed to get past Van Dijk.

In the latest Ballon d'Or odds, Van Dijk overtook Messi and ranked No. 1! Messi is in second place, and in 3rd to 5th place are Cristiano Ronaldo, Salah and Sadio Mane. Van Dijk is already the undisputed favourite for the Ballon d'Or!

Personally, I think this is actually related to his strength, and secondly, he may not have a fate with the Ballon d'Or, his personal performance has been seen, we can see it, although he can't be said to be perfect, but he can be said to be similar to some other players, he may be some distance from the best central defender. According to the latest news I have learned, there are about six players in the position of defenders in international football, and it can be said that these six players are arguably the best players on the football field today.

1. The influence of his personal strengthAt least they did well in the centre-back position and they have a bright future ahead of themPersonally, I don't know what fans and friends think, but I personally think that I still want to say that these six players who have performed well in the central defender position are actually Liverpool fans, Liverpool's Van Dijk, as well as Manchester City's Laporte, and Atletico Madrid's Jimenez and Juventus' De Ligt, Bayern's Lucas Hernandez and Real Madrid's Varane.

Second, the team's cooperation is unstableSecondly, let's talk about the Liverpool fans first, what I can say personally,Van Dijk's performances last season and this season have made him a player who has attracted the attention of the world, Van Dijk has actually put him in the same position as Messi and Ronaldo, and he has the potential to compete for the Ballon d'Or. Although he didn't win the award personally, Van Dijk's performance proved his worth.

Third, the problem of personal mentalityThis has also led to fruitful results for the Liverpool team. His personal Champions League triumph last season and most likely Premier League title this season are the result of Van fighting for Liverpool. Manchester City brought in Laporte, who is actually a centre-back himself, and Laporte can still be said to be as good as Van Dijk in the centre-back position.

Finally, as for the above Van Dijk missing the Ballon d'Or, can it be said that he is the strongest central defender in the current team, here is the analysis today.

Yes, it's not easy for a defender to win the Ballon d'Or. Van Dijk has strong defensive ability, is a rare defensive manager, and can be regarded as the best central defender so far.

I don't think it's okay, after all, Van Dijk has been really strong in the past two years, but he has also relied on the whole Liverpool to perform, and his teammates are also very strong, besides, if you want to become the strongest defender, it will take longer to test the quality. At present, it seems that he is still far from Ramos, Pique and others.

OK. Totally agree. Also always supported.

Virgil van Dijk came close to winning the Ballon d'Or and it is undisputed to say that he is the best centre-back in the squad. Here's why:1Van Dijk is in good fitness. 2.Van Dijk is strong one-on-one.

Yes, because with his ability, he can win the Ballon d'Or, and his personal ability is very strong.

Yes, Virgil van Dijk is the best centre-back at the moment. He is very strong in individual defense and co-defense, especially the number one in the world in frontal defense.

Van Dijk's performance in the past two years has indeed been outstanding, but it will not be promoted to the height of the first central defender, I think he is one of the strongest central defenders in the current team, whether he can really squeeze out Ramos, Pique and others to the top depends on the performance of the back.

I think there's more of a sympathy between them. In an exclusive interview after the Golden Boot ceremony, Messi said that Van Dijk has done a good job, is one of the best players, and it is very difficult to get past him on the pitch. And Van Dijk has always admired Messi very much.

Speaking of the last event, the fans are also crazy, and it is normal for fans and friends around me to take leave to watch the game all night. I remember that in the Champions League semifinals in the early morning of May 2, Barcelona defeated Liverpool 3-0 in the first leg, with Suarez's goal and Messi's brace, Barcelona had the advantage in the first leg at home, and it was one level closer to advancing to the next round of the Champions League! Barcelona's brilliant victory undoubtedly relied on Messi's courageous performance, and the 31-year-old Argentine once again amazed the international arena

This night belongs to Messi!

We all think there's one biggest attraction in this game between the two sides, and naturally it isThe "spear and shield" contest between Messi and Van Dijk! Liverpool's backline, which relies on Odis van Dijk, has rejected attacks from many Premier League teams on several occasions, and the Premier League PFA Player of the Year is the most apt compliment. Before the start of this round of the Champions League, there were a number of ** reports on a series of topics:

Can Messi get by with Van Dijk?

The rating of the game is only scored,Van Dijk was a decent performer, with two tackles, three interceptions and two clearances. In the face of Messi's attack, Liverpool's first goal conceded did not even prevent Suarez, including Matip, who assisted with Van Dijk shortly after the game, and a handball escaped the referee's sight. For defending Messi, not just Van Dijk, the entire Liverpool backline is a failure for Messi's defense.

In an interview with the media at the end of the game, Van Dijk said that Messi performed well, and Van Dijk reluctantly joined the plum blowing sequence: We didn't lose to Barcelona, we just lost to the best in the world, and no one can stop Messi, including me.

In fact, in this competition, we can see that Van Dijk is still making great progress, and so is Messi.
